Visited on Saturday. Lots of room on the carpark. A great selection of retro computers and games consoles that brought back memories of getting my first computer in the 80s. A varied selection of computers and games to try out, plus some more recent consoles and virtual reality to try too. Had a nice coffee and chat with Joe (Museum Director) who is very knowledgeable about the history of computers, and was telling us about the hard opening and future plans. Sadly they haven't been able to get the arcade games installed yet due to issues with the lift, but still lots to keep you occupied. One thing to note, this is an old mill so be aware it is a little chilly, make sure you have a jacket on. Had a lovely time and would recommend.

1 month agoWe visited today in half term and ended up spending a good 4 hours here. What a fantastically unique find this is! We love how very SEND-friendly the atmosphere is and how accommodating it is for young people on the autistic spectrum. Super friendly, kind staff. Our boys loved having a go on the retro consoles that we grew up with decades ago. Will definitely return. Thank you.

1 month agoWonderful place. Tucked out of the way, and quite a trek up the stairs, but worth it. Wasn't left disappointed. Dozens of old computers lined across lots of tables, with the oldest dating from 1975! A few old video game consoles too, like the PS2, and some others that I don't remember the name of. There's also a free section which has Minecraft on 4 PCs. Definitely returning.
